The Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (MOHERST), through NAQAA, has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring quality and standards in tertiary education in The Gambia.
In its latest statement, NAQAA confirmed that several higher education institutions are accredited to offer degree programmes. These include the University of The Gambia, Civil Service University, University of Education The Gambia, University of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology, Sup de Co Banjul, Euclid University, American International University West Africa, Al Ihsan University, Al-Hikma University, Imam Bukhary University, and International Open University.
NAQAA cautioned the public that any institution offering degree programmes without accreditation is operating illegally and in violation of the laws governing higher education in The Gambia. The Authority urged students and parents to verify accreditation status before enrollment, noting that degrees from unaccredited institutions may not be recognized for employment, further studies, or professional certification.
NAQAA, remains committed to safeguarding the integrity, quality, and credibility of higher education in The Gambia and will take appropriate action against institutions operating outside the regulatory framework.
